I'm flying home on Thursday for spring break. I was thinking I needed to save money and stay in So Cal, but I feel the need to be in Washington right now. I don't know if people need me to be there, but I need to be there, if that makes any sense. My friends the Loghrys and the Jensens are facing some hard stuff... And like I said in the last post just this morning, its not about what I can say or do... its just being there. After I bought my tickets this afternoon, I felt a deep sense of peace that this is what I need to do right now, no matter if I feel like I can help or not.
Check out www.caringbridge.org/visit/lukejensen if you want to read about what's going on with the Jensens.
And if I don't see you while I'm in Washington and Oregon, please don't be offended. My main priority is two families that are very dear to me that are hurting right now. I hope you can understand.
Please pray for these families and pray that God will use me to offer comfort and hope somehow in these difficult times.
oh jill. he already HAS used you to offer comfort and hope. we love you so much. and yes, it most certainly does matter that you come home. i know the feeling of thinking you're just coming home out of a selfish desire to be there, but that's really not the case. it's not just that you need to be here. we need you to be here too. love you so much, dear sister... <3
ReplyDelete--from Ryan--We do need you Jill. I wish you could have seen Angela's face light up when she found out you were coming. God bless you, and have a safe journey home. (side note from Angela--my face didn't actually light up, it was the glare of the living room light off the cascade of tears that he saw:)
